Nut Bread

The batter should not be made ahead, as the baking powder begins working immediately upon contact with liquid. However, you can measure and combine all dry ingredients up to 1 day ahead and store in an airtight container. Toast and chop the walnuts up to 3 days ahead and store at room temperature.

Once completely cooled, wrap the loaves tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap well and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before slicing. Toast slices to refresh texture.
